In this lovely example, Microsoft deliberately makes a link
as unclear as can be. They don't want readers to even figure
out how to sign up for free Hotmail accounts so the link is
not underlined, bold, or bulleted, only color-coded. Brilliant,
in a sick, deceptive, marketing-savvy way.

"My interest in usability arose from the pain
and tears of patching the wounds of suffering interface designs
with the inadequate bandages of help files and user guides."
— Daniel Cohen
